had used flomax and then finesteride for prostate issue, side effects were killing my intimacy with wife. Now take 320mg of saw twice a day. No more weak stream nor false urges. Off the prescription too.

Based on the NCCIH: "High-quality scientific studies have shown that saw palmetto is no more effective than a placebo (an inactive substance) in relieving urinary tract symptoms caused by prostate enlargement. These studies include a 2011 NIH-funded study that tested saw palmetto in amounts up to three times the usual dose."

I have been using prosta metto but should like to use Prostamol Uno as it is cheaper. Can I do that?

I have taken Saw Palmetto berry daily for 26 years due to enlarged prostate. I originally experienced reduced flow of urine which was significantly increased after taking Saw Palmetto berry. I take two to three 450 mg capsules a day, which I believe would have required prostate surgery without taking it.

Smaller "recommended" dosages are ineffective. Dosage of 2000 MG 2 X's daily (with food) seems to work best. 'Takes about 3 days before any noticeable changes in urinary "leaking," sudden "urges" and improved "flow."

Tried three different natural bph pills and modest to no improvement in symptoms. Avodart worked best but side effects are too extreme to continue use.

Tried it for over three months and did nothing for prostatitis. Also no change in flow rate or capacity. Only side effect was a lot of gurgling in stomach and wind which I have never experienced before.

After I started taking the saw palmetto my lip got very dry and tender. I looked on the web site and couldn't find this to be a side effect but once I stopped the saw palmetto the problem went away -- the condition lasted several weeks.

I have been taking Indena's Sabalselect saw palmetto for over five years for BPH. The improvement has been dramatic. My urinary flow is better now than it has been probably for the last ten years. It took only about three months to take effect. Blessed relief!

First, most of the reviews on here are scams... They have no description and were all left around 3:30 and give the same review for the same aged person... Haven't seen anything to help me yet. Will try for another 6 months

I have discovered that I can use less of the liquid gelcap versions of saw palmetto of the dry capsules, than I need to stem frequent urination.

I have taken Saw Palmetto for ten years for my BPH. I have been very pleased with it. I it has out performed other over the counter and prescription remedies I've tried over the past decade. I had my prostrate cored six months ago and no sign of cancer and my urine flow while not what is was in my youth is satisfactory.

The treatment has been very effective for me. It reduced night time frequency and improved flow significantly. I would highly recommend giving it a try.
